About TechNiche
TechNiche was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Vista, California. The company started as a small specialty apparel maker with only a few products and a handful of customers, and has since grown into a technology leader in the performance apparel category.
TechNiche pioneered two proven approaches to personal cooling: HyperKewl water-activated evaporative cooling and TechKewl phase-change cooling, both engineered to regulate body temperature for workers exposed to heat stress. The product range has expanded beyond cooling vests to include cooling headwear, heated apparel, heated gloves, and cooling textiles for manufacturing partners.
TechNiche has grown into one of the largest cooling vest manufacturers in the world, with products distributed in more than 50 countries and distribution centers across the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The brand has supplied cooling garments for large-scale construction projects and major outdoor events, and ChatMRO indexes the TechNiche catalog so buyers can search by cooling technology, garment type, or climate application.
